Apostrophe errors are common place in an individual's written work and are generally ignorable. However when they appear in a piece of work that is on public display and should really have been checked it becomes somewhat inexcusable.
The sign outside Stamford in Lincs used to say (don't know if it has been changed)

WELCOME TO STAMFORD
STAY A WHILE AMID IT'S ANCIENT CHARMS
